Abstract		Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a fairly frequent problem, whether it is due to a kidney disease per se or to an extrarenal disease or to a combination of both. CKD ofen coexists with cardiovascular disease and diabetes and is recognized as a risk factor for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease. Most patients with CKD do not progress to end-stage renal disease, but rather die prematurely of other causes , particulary cardiovascular events. Early diagnosis of CKD is therefore becoming increasingly important because it provides opportunities not only to delay progression of kidney failure but also to prevent complications. Because of extensiveness of CKD nephrologists need to collaborate with their colleagues in primary care.
Summary		Kronična ledvična bolezen (KLB) je pogost zdravstveni problem in je lahko posledica ledvične patologije, neledvične bolezni ali kombinacije obeh. KLB se pogosto odkrije sočasno s srčnožilnimi boleznimi in sladkorno boleznijo ter jo obravnavamo kot samostojni dejavnik tveganja za umrljivost ter srčnožilne bolezni. Pri večini bolnikov KLB ne napreduje do končne ledvične odpovedi, ker le-ti umrejo prej zaradi različnih vzrokov, zlasti srčnožilnih dogodkov. Zato postaja čim zgodnejša diagnoza KLB vse pomembnejša in daje priložnost upočasnitve progresije ledvične insuficience ter hkrati preprečevanja zapletov. Zaradi obsežnosti problema KLB je zaradi obravnave in zdravljenja smiselno sodelovanje nefrologov in zdravnikov družinske medicine.
